🌱 Last week, our Year 9 students took part in an engaging workshop with Sustainability at School (@sustainabilityatschool), exploring how BSB can reduce its environmental impact and become even more sustainable.

💡 Students analysed the school`s energy use, identifying practical solutions such as maximising natural light, improving energy-saving habits, and ensuring lights are switched off when not in use.

🍽️ They also explored ways to reduce food waste, including encouraging smaller portions and more mindful consumption.

📋 Working collaboratively, students developed a three-year action plan to promote greener habits and drive positive change across our school community.

🌍 Through our partnership with Sustainability at School, we continue to empower students to become sustainability leaders and turn ideas into meaningful action.

🍫🎶🎩 Chocolate factories, Greek islands, and musical classics—our end-of-year shows brought a wonderful variety of stories to life across our BSB campuses.

🎭 End-of-year show season has taken centre stage, giving our students the chance to perform, collaborate, and share their hard work with our school community.

🍫 At BSB City, our Year 3 students stepped into the world of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, filling our halls with chocolate, imagination, and plenty of Oompa Loompas.

🎶 Meanwhile, at BSB City Secondary, the Lunchtime Drama Club put their own spin on Mamma Mia!, taking audiences on a journey to Greece through music and theatre.

🎩 At BSB Sitges, our Year 6 students performed Oliver!, marking the end of their Primary years before taking their next step into Secondary School.

⭐ And at BSB Castelldefels, students from our REACH Beyond enrichment programme brought Charlie and the Chocolate Factory to the stage.

👏 A huge thank you to our Music & Drama teams for the time, care, and dedication that go into every production.

🎭 And to all of our students, congratulations. We are so proud of the commitment and courage you showed in stepping onto the stage and sharing your performances with us.

🚀 BSB City is now a recognised NRICH Problem-Solving School!

🎉 We are delighted to announce that our Barcelona campus has been recognised as an NRICH Problem-Solving School through the prestigious University of Cambridge initiative.

🧠 NRICH is part of the University of Cambridge’s Millennium Mathematics Project and supports schools in developing students’ problem-solving, reasoning and critical-thinking skills through rich mathematical enquiry and exploration.

🧩 For our students, this recognition reflects an approach to learning that goes beyond finding the right answer. Students are encouraged to explore different strategies, justify their thinking and develop the confidence to tackle unfamiliar problems independently, through collaboration, discussion and challenge.

💡 The accreditation also aligns with BSB’s focus on Hard Thinking—encouraging students to embrace challenge, think deeply and develop the resilience needed to become successful lifelong learners. These skills are increasingly important in a world shaped by rapid technological change and AI.

🌟 We are proud to see BSB City recognised for its commitment to preparing students not only for academic success, but for the opportunities and challenges of the future.
